Answer 1

hiMy husband and I have alot to celebrate this Christmas. We have another son who will only be 4 months old this year. Our oldest son will be 7 and 1/2 on Xmas eve, and our wedding anniversary is on the 16th.

The tree gets put up in November.

We celebrate by...(going to be long) Xmas Eve we go to my mothers house and exchange gifts there.

When we get home, the kiddies get a new pair of pj's and slippers, and each year the kiddies get a new ornament just for them and they place it on the tree..and we all sit down and read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and we also read another story called "The Bearer of Gifts" (It's a great book... it's about where "Santa meets the baby Christ) and then off to bed after the cookies and milk are left out for daddy...errr Santa.

Once the kids are in bed my husband and I exchange our gifts to one another (if they make it to then, usually we are so excited we cant ever wait til then.) Then "Santa" visits.

In the morning, we turn on Christmas carols, watch the kids open their presents...and once the presents are opened and the kiddies are playing we start Christmas dinner.

I love Christmas and the meaning behind it. I've been looking for a "Christmas Nail" to buy...IF you don't know about that, look it up, it's great for families who still celebrate Christmas for the meaning.

I love Christmas, and will always do so. I make it as special for my kiddies as I possibly can.

So many more things we do as well

Answer 2

My family usually does the same thing every year which is fine with me. We invite lots of people over. Then we start eating when everybody is there. After that, we open presents. Some are from Santa Claus (Yeah right), and some are from the family (Such as Aunts and Uncles). We have a great time every year. I think Christmas is the best time of the year. I bet everyone thinks so too (I hope so).

I actually celebrate the Solstice and Yule (based on my beliefs) and a secular Christmas with my family as tradition. Thank you and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you, too! :)

Answer 8

Jehovah's Witnesses teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!

Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. They do NOT celebrate so-called "Christmas" because "Christmas" does NOT celebrate Christ; "Christmas" celebrates the pagan Saturnalia. Jesus was not even born in December. Nearly all so-called Christmas customs dishonor Christ.

(Jeremiah 10:2-5) This is what Jehovah has said: "Do not learn the way of the nations at all... 3 For the customs of the peoples are just an exhalation, because it is a mere tree out of the forest that one has cut down, the work of the hands of the craftsman with the billhook. 4 With silver and with gold one makes it pretty. With nails and with hammers they fasten them down, that none may reel. ...the doing of any good is not with them."

By contrast, it's tragic that the one holiday Christ actually *DID* ask Christians to commemorate is entirely ignored by almost all of Christendom. It is, of course, the Memorial of Christ's death, sometimes called "the Last Supper" or "the Lord's Evening Meal".

(1 Corinthians 11:23-25, NWT) The Lord Jesus in the night in which he was going to be handed over took a loaf... Keep doing this in remembrance of me.” 25 He did likewise respecting the cup.. Keep doing this... in remembrance of me.”

(1 Cor 11:24, 25, NEB) "Do this as a memorial of me.”


Christ Jesus himself personally celebrated and explained the significance of that Last Supper to his followers (see Matthew 26:26-29). Christians who commemorate the Last Supper have done so on the same Jewish calendar date as Jesus did, Nisan 14, which generally falls between late March and mid-April. Interestingly, Christians in the centuries immediately after Christ's impalement were sometimes called "Quartodecimans" which literally mean "Fourteen-ers", because the early Christians were well-known for this true holy day.

How would Jesus feel to learn that the holiday he commanded was widely ignored, while his so-called followers chose to celebrate a pagan false god and their own traditions of men? We don't need to wonder.

(Matthew 15:6-9) You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. 7 You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you when he said, 8 ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. 9 It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines.’”
